A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Shockingly, I have been thinking tonight about the re-writing of the FAQ and etiquette pages and the creation of a policies page (with info on voting and all votes to date).Some of us started working on that, but it never was completed. As the ringleader I apologize for that. I just wanted to post here to let the board know that it is not forgotten and that I will pick the work back up this weekend and hopefully we will have something to present in the near future.
Fair warning, committee of those working on this.
Are we going to add something about the netiquette of linking to us?
We may just have to do that.
msbelle, did you get that thing I sent you about an online place where you can work collaboratively on the same document? A sortawiki?
yeah I got it and replied (crying now because you don't even read my emails). I have a backpack account and will use that.
ita-- that would be cool! With four people working on the same document, I felt really sorry for msbelle having to "input" our changes.
Also, msbelle, I have a new email (see profile)
I never got the reply -- it was sent from within the app -- I'm not sure where the reply went. I don't think my e-mail address was in there. Can you forward me your reply?
Bitch thread naming was mentioned in thread. Some Spike quote suggestions:
I think I'm sobering up.
So when do we destroy the world, already?
That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
Well, that was sad. I'm embarrassed for our kind.
Every day a fresh bout of torture.
Good choices, Deena.
I like: Well, that was sad. I'm embarrassed for our kind.
Can we incorporate Internet Aspergers in there? As in, "look, some people have internet aspergers, and we can't go back to the day you were born and raise you up all over again so learn that it isn't polite to pee on the rug and chew with your mouth open, or stick your gum under the table here at the community rec center. If you've metaphorically taken a whiz on our Thanksgiving turkey, we'll let you know in thread. Do not argue with our ways. We've survived two board closures and twenty-five thousand posts in Bureaucracy, and this is how we do it in the B.org."
Or you know, don't riff on the OC.
Okay. It was only funny to me.
I get it.
Fine.
I'm leaving.
